^ditto.

Beam me up Scotty…

What does it look like?

Hi there JP Steve

There was once intelligent life on Earth, but then humans evolved and it went extinct.

Embrace the intelligence…

huh?

I resemble that!!

When did it leave? When prejudice began.

Reminds me of Gandhis answer when asked what he thought of Western culture: Well. That might be a good idea!

Don’t get me started.

\\//_

Intelligent life is due to arrive on planet Earth in about 10,000 years, give or take a thousand years.

The question indeed!

rerun.

I agree, JP Steve. There is no intelligent life here.

All the dummies here agree: we own the place. We just haven’t fixed it up yet.

Amen! Oh, by the way, let’s elect Sarah Palin President! Yeah!

Me thinks the strip says it all…

It’s amazing how much mileage this old gag gets.; have you ever heard THE GALAXY SONG?:

I think common sense left with it!!!!!!!!!!!!

boy richard lake, you really want to go to hell in a hand basket.

“Richard Lake”, if Sarah were elected it would be proof that intelligence was non existent.

Well, I was born in 1964, so…

(I’ll leave you to decide whether I’m answering Cosmo’s question or the astronomer’s….)

When did it leave? I’ll check with Snopes.

That’s very flattering, somebodyshort. If they follow up by asking you where I was born, you can tell them it was in Central Illinois.

It only THINKS it’s here.

Join STI, the Search for Terrestial Intelligence. They download software to your computer to utilize its idle processing time to search for intelligent life. It works by process of elimination, analyzing small snippets of text and identifying that which doesn’t qualify.

I thought the STI project had to be shut down when the software got around to examining its own code. It simultaneously determined that it (A) was itself omniscient and (B) did not exist, and every computer linked to the network eximploded.
